StAR Team
In accordance with Pennsylvania Act 211, the Students At Risk (StAR) team consists of faculty members who have been specially trained to assist students with drug, alcohol or emotional problems. A student becomes involved in StAR when an individual (friend, parent, teacher...etc.) who is concerned about the welfare of the student makes his or her concern known to the StAR team.

Famous quotes containing the words star and/or team:
“The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Relying on any one disciplinary approach—time-out, negotiation, tough love, the star system—puts the parenting team at risk. Why? Because children adapt to any method very quickly; today’s effective technique becomes tomorrow’s worn dance.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
